Disclaimer: I do not own Brothers Conflict or anything else that it recognizable. I only own my OCs and the plot of this story. There will be swearing in this chapter. This one is pretty long to make up for the long wait. Expect weekly updates, but know that I'm not giving up on this story unless I specifically say so.
Before continuing this story, there should be a fact known about our main character. What that fact is is that you should never ever attempt to wake her up before her alarm goes off or she feels like getting up. This is mostly because she sleeps like the dead and will act like one of them if you wake her up before it's time. It really is to bad that Ema forgot that simple fact after such a long time apart. But oh well.
"Kimiko," Ema attempted to get her sister for the fifth time, "get up already! It's almost time to eat dinner! Kimiko!" Now, another thing to know is that shit is about to hit the fan if Hinata Ema is getting annoyed. Apparently, Ema wasn't the only one to forget something about her sister after such a long time apart. An almost inhuman noise came from the other side of the door as the oblivious girl continued sleeping in a way that would most likely suffocate her if she stayed in that position for too long.
"Oh, my god, I'm coming in! Kimi, you better be decent!" Yep, shit was about to get real. "Come on Kimi," Ema cooed, attempting to get oxygen back into the lungs of her half dead sister, "Everyone really wants to meet you."
"Ughhhhmn." With that eloquent statement, Kimiko moved so her backside was facing her sister. "Bueatt uh mnh."
"Kimi, I can't speak warble, you've got to speak words!" Ema was getting annoyed but couldn't find it in herself to attempt to get her sister up by force. But, if I don't, then Kimiko might feel guilty about making her new siblings wait. Ema wrestled with this notion for a while before deciding that it was for the best, unaware of the sin she was committing.
"MMNPH!" Even so, maybe actually choking Kimiko with a pillow wasn't the best idea. Oh well… "Pfftt… I got feathers in my mouth."
"What?" Ema stared at the newfound hole in the pillow with astonishment before turning the look to her sister. "Do you bite in your sleep?!"
"Of course not," Kimiko scoffed, rolling her eyes at the foolish notion, "I attack in my sleep. Completely different."
"Right. Anyways," Ema quickly changed the the topic before it could get any weirder, " Everyone's here and we're about to eat dinner. Come one."
"M'kay." Kimiko staggered to her feet before looking in the mirror and deeming her ponytail untameable. "Let's go." Kimiko somewhat swayed her way out the bedroom while Ema stared after her with a fond smile before shaking her head slightly and hurrying after to make sure Kimiko didn't accidently kill herself on her way to the dining table.
Another thing that should be known about Kimiko is her sense of smell. If a type of food doesn't smell good that she wouldn't eat it. Simple. Of course that can easily be changed by plugging her nose but anyways. Basically, if something didn't smell right, she didn't trust it. So when she smelled the scent of expensive products a celebrity would use before she smelled the food, it should be assumed that the happy family dinner Ema had in mind was not going to happen.
"Ah, Fuuto! Congratulations on your new song!" Ema smiled happily as she congratulated a teen that was Kimiko's height. "This is-" Kimiko was about to hold out her hand to introduce herself properly before the boy she was apparently being introduced to scooted around her to stand in front of her sister.
"Ah~ My stupid, beautiful sister. What a wonderful welcome~" In a flash his entire demeanor into something much more dominant as he pulled Ema into an embrace that was bordering on indecent. "What would be even better would be a proper welcome in your room. After all, I still have to punish you." Before any of the other brothers could jump into action or Ema could stutter a reply, Kimiko grabbed the brat by his ear and yanked him around so that he faced her. (If you care to know what else is happening in the room, Kaname was bothering Iori about the flowers he gave Kaname, Subaru was ignoring Natsume's presence while Natsume pretended not to be bothered by it, the twins were, well, the twins, Hikaru was draping himself over Ukyo, and Masaomi was giving Wataru a piggy-back ride.)
"Listen, here buddy," Kimiko growled out, " I don't know who the fuck you think are but if you assume that it's okay to force yourself on someone like that then you are surely mistaken." There was a hush surrounding them as the last of the brothers entered the room.
"Who I am?! I think I should be asking you that question. After all, you're just a foreigner who has the good fortune to be blessed with my presence."
"Mhm, it sure is fortune but I wouldn't call it good fortune. And who would feel blessed to be in the presence of an asshole like you." Everyone in the room could practically feel the hostility radiating from the two of them. The other brothers along with Ema formed a sort of circle around the two fighters.
"Do you honestly not even know whose presence you are being graced with. I'm Asakura Fuuto. Are you seriously so idiotic that you don't even know that much?!"
"Listen hear punk, I don't care if you're the fucking President of the United States. What I care about is how you were treating Ema."
"Oh? So, that's what it was." Fuuto steps slightly closer to the furious brunette while wearing a smirk. "You were jealous that I was treating Ema like that as you knew that such an unprepossessing and," he chanced a look at her chest, "underdeveloped girl like yourself would never be able to land my attention." Everyone in the room knew that that was the wrong response as Kimiko's fury levels went into unhealthy levels. Unfortunately, Fuuto did not sense the looming danger.
"Uh, look, why don't we go-" Ema attempted to diffuse the situation but it was too late.
"You fucking brat!" Kimiko yelled as she yanked on Fuuto's ear. "How are you such a complete ASSHOLE! Well listen here buddy, I'm 15, 'kay?! And to THINK I was slightly excited about meeting my new brothers! You're lucky I don't break your nose! Is this really how you treat your new stepsister?!" Everyone except Ema looked mildly terrified at the thought of having this insane girl as their new stepsister. All the brothers, however, were wondering to themselves about how the hell this girl is the sister of Ema.
"Okay then," Ukyo started, deciding that if he didn't get her to stop, Fuuto might never hear out of that ear again. "How about we all just sit down and have a nice, friendly dinner? That sounds safe right? Natsume, Subaru, can you help our new-ahem-sister to the dining table? Meanwhile, Masaomi? Can you make sure Fuuto isn't deaf? Thanks. Now," He turned around and faced the only calm female in the room. "Why don't you tell us some more about your sister?"
As Kimiko was led-dragged-to the other room so she could calm down, all the brothers turned to Ema, including Fuuto who was holding his throbbing ear.
"So... Ema, why don't you tell us about your lovely sister." Ukyo asked.
"I'm really sorry about not telling you sooner but I didn't know that she would be coming so soon." Ema murmured this while looking down at her feet, oblivious to the slightly love struck look some of her brothers were giving her.
"She isn't usually like this. She's actually a very sweet, shy girl. But she's been on her own for a long time and has learned to stick up for herself. She's actually very loving, especially towards children." At that word, everyone threw a pointed look at Wataru, who was listening to Natsume and Subaru attempting to calm Kimiko down in the other room.
"It's fine," Ukyo sighed, "how about we just go eat our dinner and attempt to get to know her better." There were sounds of agreement from around the room and Ukyo rubbed his temples as he walked into the living room where the trio had already taken their seats. Meanwhile, Hikaru was wondering why this girl seemed so familiar.
"Aha!" Kaname and Ukyo jumped slightly at the noise of recognition that came from the red head. "You're the girl at the airport! That sort-of foreigner!" Kimiko looked up from the food she was poking at before squinting at the third brother and tilting her head to the head, strangely wolf-like.
"Oh, yeah." Kimiko made a vague sound of recognition before going back to poking her meal with a fork. "You're that lady that told me where to find a cab. What are you doing here?"
Hikaru smiled slightly, before leaning back in his chair. "Why don't you take a gander?" Kimiko raised uninterested eyes in the crossdressing males direction before resting her head on her left hand, while her right hand held the fork in its grasp.
"Hmmm," remembering the way Hikaru was draped over Ukyo when she had first entered the room, she said the first thing that came to mind. "I'm guessing that you're dating blondie over there." Kimiko pointed her fork in Ukyo's direction.
Ukyo and Ema should've known better than to have been drinking something when Hikaru was asking something. Unfortunately, they did not and Natsume and Yuusuke had to pay the price for it.
"AHAHAH-You-ehheheha-think-" Hikaru broke of in laughter as tears started streaming down his face. Ukyo's face turned purple as he scrubbed at the tablecloth.
"Kimi, Hikaru is the third brother! Why would you think that he and Ukyo were dating?!" Ema blushed a bright red that would liken her to a tomato as she dabbed at the stain on Yuusuke's shirt, oblivious to the fact that he was blushing almost as much as she was. Kimiko snorted slightly into her cup as she took a sip from it before deciding to humor her sister.
'I didn't know he was a boy! Besides, from the way that he was draping himself over blondie over there, anyone would've thought that!"
"Aha!" Tsubaki stood up gleefully before pointing a finger at Hikaru, "So this is all thanks to your homosexual tendencies!" Tsubaki quickly sat back down, attempting to muffle his laughter to no avail. Azusa cut in quickly before the meal could get any more interesting.
"Why don't we just go to the living room, maybe we could watch a movie or something." Tsubaki grinned largely at his twin before glomping him, unaware to the fact that he was cutting off Azusa's air supply.
"What do you guys want to watch?" Louis asked while browsing through the channels once everyone-save Wataru who went to draw something- had been seated. The only people that were seated next to Kimiko was Ema and Juli and Juli was mostly there because Kimiko kept the wolves away from Ema.
"Ooh!" Tsubaki held his hand out towards the remote. "Give!" Louis handed over the remote without a complaint and went to go sit on the other side of Fuuto, who was still nursing his bruised ego. Tsubaki flipped through the channels before he stopped at an anime that was familiar to Kimiko.
"HOly crap, it's Utapri." Kimiko's eyes were glued to the screen as she watched the scene unfold. It was a later episode, in the second season, but for the life of her, she could not remember what the name of the episode was.
"You watch Uta no prince sama?" The twins shared a look. Utapri was one of the first animes that they worked on together. "Who's your favorite character?" Tsubaki leaned forward with a devilish smile. He couldn't lie and say that he wasn't interested in Kimiko's answer.
"Masato." Kimiko deadpanned with a straight face, still watching the TV. "I like his voice and he's frickin adorable." Tsubaki flashed a smug grin towards Azusa after hearing her answer, yet he couldn't deny that his heart might have skipped a beat when she complimented his voice. He was just about to thank her before Wataru ran up to Kimiko while waving a sheet of paper in her face.
"Is this for me?" Kimiko asked softly when looking at her younger brother.
"Yup! I drew a picture of me and big sis! I'm happy that you decided to visit for a year!" Wataru flashed a bashful smile at Kimiko and she returned it with one of her own.
"Thanks, this is really sweet." Kimiko looked down at the picture with a fond smile. "I'll make sure to frame it." The brothers were shocked to know that Kimiko could speak in such a soft tone after she had been screaming not even an hour ago. After finishing the episode, Ema stood up with a yawn and motioned for Kimiko to follow her.
"I'm going to sleep. We're going to go shopping tomorrow okay Kimiko?" Ema asked after they entered Kimiko's room.
"'Kay, oh, and Ema?"
"Yeah?"
"You do know that pretty much everyone in this household is in love with you right? Save me of course."
A sigh. "...Yeah."
"And you don't do anything about it, even with the forceful ones?"
"... Yeah."
"... Oneechan, are you a masochist?"
